[MBZ] OT: Need some quick help
I am having an auction to sell stuff from my parents' farm in KY, I am in TX. Most of it is little odds $ ends, some antiquey kinds of things. Two large items are a boat and a little John Deere diesel tractor. I have no idea what the boat is worth -- 18ft Alumacraft with 130HP motor and trailer, near-new condition but 12 yr old (dad bought it, had a stroke, it sat in the barn for the last 9 yr), auctioneer says maybe $5500. Was like $12k new. Tractor maybe $4500. So I was thinking to set a reserve on these two items. But if they don't sell the auctioneer still gets 10% of the reserve . If they do sell he gets 20% of the total. The kicker is that he will shill the bids to run them up. So if I set $5000 reserve on the boat, then he runs the real bid to $4800 then he bids $4900 and I say go for it, that is not a real bid and I am screwed -- I pay him $500 and still have the boat. Or if I set a low reserve I could get screwed on the price -- he could let it go for $2500 and still get his $500 so what does he care. I want to get rid of the stuff, but I also don't want to get screwed on some low price with a 20% commission, or end up still having these things sitting around having paid him for nothing Suggestions? --R
Re: [MBZ] OT: Need some quick help
What kind of diesel tractor (other than just JD)? Might try ames.craigslistfor that one -- Deere tractors in Iowa are like surf-fishin'-pickups on the coast of North Carolina: if they start then they are worth their weight in gold. T'would be nothing for an Iowa guy to make a weekend dash to pick up a good deal on a Deere.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Need some quick help
It's a 655 3 cyl diesel 4WD, has a big mower deck on it, 3pt hitch and PTO you can drive a tiller, etc. My yard is not even big enough to turn it around in or I would keep the thing. It's a lot of fun. --R LT Don wrote: What kind of diesel tractor (other than just JD)?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Need some quick help
I think you'd do pretty well w/ an eBay listing for the tractor. There are no 655s currently listed.
